The suicide of phoebe prince, on January 14, 2010, led to the criminal prosecution of six teenagers Phoebe Prince had moved from Ireland to South Hadly, Massachusetts. Her suicide after suffering months of bullying from school classmates, brought attention to the problem of bullying in American schools. In March 2010, Phoebe Nora Mary Prince was born in Bedford, England in the uk on November 24, 1994, and moved to the seaside community of Fanore in , Ireland when she was two. Phoebe attended Villiers Secondary School, a private school in County Limerick, where she reportedly suffered problems. She emigrated to the U.S. in the fall of 2009 with her American mother and four siblings. Her mother lived in Boston for a few years. The choice of South Hadley, Massachusetts was reportedly because of the presence of extended family, Phoebe was attending South Hadley High School at the time of her death at age 15, on January 14, 2010. Having recently moved to the U.S. from Ireland, Prince had been taunted and bullied for several months by at least two separate groups of students at South Hadley High School, reportedly because of disputes with other girls over her brief relationships with a senior high school football player and a second male student. Her aunt had allegedly warned school officials in August 2009, prior to Prince's enrolment at the school, to watch after Prince, as she was "susceptible" to bullying and had been bullied in Ireland. On January 14, 2010, after a day of harassment and taunting, followed by a final incident in which a student threw a can at her from a passing car as she walked home from school, Prince committed suicide by hanging herself in the stairwell leading to the second floor of the family apartment. Her body was discovered by her 12-year-old sister. After her death, many blunt comments about her were posted on her Facebook memorial page, most of which were removed. Her parents chose to have Phoebe buried in Ireland. A meeting held at the school to discuss the problem of bullying at the school brought parents who stated that bullying of their children had been completely ignored by the school administration. Massachusetts state lawmakers sped up efforts to pass anti-bullying legislation as a result of this incident, and the measure was signed into law on May 3, 2010. . In efforts to promote national anti-bullying legislation, a "Phoebe’s Law" has been proposed. In July 2010, the South Hadley school committee adopted a more comprehensive anti-bullying policy. Some of the people who were charged with the suicide of Phoebe Prince Kayla Narey charged as an adult in connection with the death of Phoebe Prince. Ashley Longe charged as an adult in connection with the death of Phoebe Prince. Flannery Mullins, charged as a juvenile in connection with the death of Phoebe Prince. Sharon Chanon Velazquez charged as a juvenile in connection with the death of Phoebe Prince.
